Suggested Activities

The Pentagon

As the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, the Pentagon is the hub of our nation’s military operations, hosting more than 23,000 military and civilian employees – all contributing to the planning and execution of the country’s defense. Some of the highlights of the Pentagon building include its Hall of Heroes, a room dedicated to the honor of 3,460 Medal of Honor recipients, and the 9/11 Memorial & Chapel, a quiet space dedicated to honoring the fallen heroes of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001

Arlington National Cemetery

Situated across from the majestic Potomac River in Washington, DC, Arlington National Cemetery was established as the final resting place for soldiers during the Civil War. Covering 624 acres, this peaceful memorial park opened in 1864, and has served as the funerary grounds for America’s fallen soldiers and notable dignitaries. Visitors can see several memorials, such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, USS Maine Mast Memorial, Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial, and the Cross of Sacrifice and enjoy watching the somber Changing of the Guard ceremony every hour on the hour in an elaborate ritual.
